Can You Put Security Screens On Casement Windows?

/in /by

Casement windows are a fantastic choice for many Gold Coast homes, and whether you have them installed already or are thinking of making the switch, you may be wondering how casement windows can be made secure. Security screens are one of the most efficient ways to protect your home, but can you put security screens on casement windows? We will answer this common question below.

Can you put security screens on casement windows?

The good news is that yes, you absolutely can put security screens on casement windows. Although they are hinged and operated by a hand crank, we have developed an efficient way to install SecureView security screens on casement windows so that you can open the window as far as you like while staying completely safe. This does not infringe on the function of the window at all, so you can use it as you would normally with the peace of mind that your security screen is doing its job.

Do I need security screens?

If you’re planning on opening your casement windows to enjoy the fresh air and to control the temperature in your home, we highly recommend security screens so that you’re not risking the integrity of your home when you do this. They do not interrupt views or airflow but ensure that you can keep all of your windows open for as long as you like with complete peace of mind. Not only do they block and deter intruders, but they also prevent pests from entering your home through the windows, too.

We recommend steel mesh security screens for complete protection, but we offer a range of security screens that are all compatible with casement windows and can match any budget or requirement. They are all fully tested to Australian standards and have passed each risk assessment with flying colours.

What are the benefits of casement windows?

Casement windows offer many benefits, making them a top choice for many coastal Australian homes. They are affordable and durable, with ours tested to resist 360km/hour winds and 1000Pa water. This makes them ideal for extreme conditions on the coast as well as for letting in a breeze when the weather is hot by utilising their hinges to open them, allowing for good climate control.

The casement windows that open with hand cranks are perfect for any location in the home, even up high or above countertops or furniture. You can operate them vertically with the hand crank found at the base, making opening and closing effortless. There are so many colours, materials and styles to choose from that you will be able to find a casement window to suit you and match any aesthetic design.

Of course, perhaps the biggest benefit to using casement windows is that they are fully compatible with security screens so you can utilise all of these fantastic features without compromising on the security of your home.

Security For Aluminium Windows And Doors

/in , /by

Perhaps you’re considering aluminium windows and doors for your Gold Coast property? You’ll find plenty of useful information on our website. If you have them already installed, congratulations! These are doors and windows designed to last you for many years to come.

But you do need to make sure these windows and doors are properly secured. 

Security is an issue in almost all areas of the Coast, as it as almost everywhere these days. Your property is most likely no exception.

As one of the leading suppliers of aluminium windows and doors on the Gold Coast, Southern Cross Glass Windows and Doors has some advice to share that should bring you some long-lasting peace of mind.

Security window and door screens

Security screens are a great choice. They are good value, as you’ll read about shortly. When you get them through us, we customise them to fit your windows and doors exactly.

Our security screens are designed to make the most of your views and doors, while making sure that security remains the priority. They’re also designed to blend and not detract from your home’s exterior appearance.

Which security screens work best?

We recommend SecureView screens. They use stainless steel mesh—T316 marine grade. No compromises here.

You get the highest protection from the elements as well as from unwelcome intruders. These are products that blitz the rigorous Australian Standards tests for security screens.

The closer weave mesh keeps the bugs out and, along with their anti-corrosive construction, which is ideal for Gold Coast conditions, they are also fire rated for bushfire areas.

They are also stylish and each screen is custom-created to suit your preferences and specifications.

Once fitted, our screens stay put and will never let you down. They’re ideal for aluminium windows and doors in both residential and commercial properties.

Other benefits

Our security window and door screens were manufactured with the prime purpose of keeping you and your loved ones safe. And they do this better than competing products.

But while you’re all safely relaxing indoors, they also provide an impenetrable barrier against mosquitoes and the like. Unlike regular flyscreens, however, your pets won’t put holes in these screens. And your neighbour’s cricket ball won’t put a hole in your window either.

The other cool thing about our security screens is that you can enjoy the benefit of free air flow throughout your home. No longer will you need to shut out the welcome relief available from a cooling breeze simply because you’re worried about intruders.
